Still No Star

So once again, I made a vessel for the star button that was supposed to go on my tall blue vessel but didn't. After trying that combo, I absolutely knew the right colors for that star! This time I made a smaller vessel so the star wouldn't get lost. Lo and behold, that darn star STILL doesn't work! And it was my bad, not the fault of the star. I mean gee whiz, I LOVE that star! But because of the way the vessel shrunk and the way I laid out the colors, the star does get lost because of lack of contrast. So I beaded up the vessel and have decided that the star is not going on a vessel at all. I'll be making more felted brooches for the Bead & Button Show, and one of them will have that star on it. I designed it on paper last night, and I can't wait to get out to the wet lab!

Here's the new vessel, sans star...

Now it's tech time for me - and YOU folks go have a happy and creative day!
